Happy Good Friday...I am so thankful for the reason we celebrate this day! Because of Jesus' love, and the repentance of my sins, I now have a future home in Heaven.

We have a sick household today. My poor little girl has been throwing up all day. She isn't complaining about pain, nor does she have a fever, but boy her tummy is mad at something! Sure hope she gets over it soon. We've just been hanging out together upstairs in the family area-her with Berenstain Bears and me with this cute little turtle.

I colored it up with copics and then cut it out. I used the sketch from Deconstructing Jen. The papers are from My Mind's Eye-Quite Contrary. I typed the sentiment.

I had a friend from college ask me if I would paint a sign for her daughter's "big girl" room. When she showed me the idea, I was like, "Yikes, that's a lot of words!" I loved it, though. I have a daughter a little younger than hers and as a Mommy who is trying to teach my daughter to be a child of the King, I knew I would enjoy doing this for her. It ended up not taking nearly as long as I thought.

I free-handed the letters and flower doodles. I used to always doodle in college when I was taking notes. Who knew it would one day pay off? LOL

I think this verse is a good reminder for us adults, as well. I so want the "beauty of Jesus to be seen in me."

This week at Digital Tuesday Challenge, we're being sponsored by QKR Stampede. They are offering the winner 5 digi's. So, why not come have a try at it? The theme is spring colors, so there is a lot of options you could play with. I went with blue and green-blue skies and green grass always makes me thing of spring. The image I used can be found here.

I paper pieced his clothes using Basic Grey brand. The ribbon and button are old. I'm pretty pleased with how I've been using some of my stash. The twine is from American Crafts. I went with a clean and simple layout because I have the hardest time embellishing boy cards.

Hello Everyone! Ready to start another week? Can you believe it's the last week of March already? Yikes! The way this year is flying by, I'll be needing Christmas cards sooner than I'd like to think. ;)

The paper is from Making Memories-found it at Big Lots on the cheap, so I'm pretty sure it's retired. The ribbon is Recollections and the flowers are a wide assortment. I added some stickles to make the snow sparkle, but it's not showing up very good in the picture.

Copics:

Gray: W5, 3, 00

Red: E19, 07

Green: G21, YG 03

Blue: B0000, 000

Here again with the Joyful Tilda image. I inked her up with Copics
and then cut her out. I cut the "Birthday Girl" out on my Cricut using
the Storybook cartridge. The flowers are a wide variety and the paper is
some old My Mind's Eye. I then added Stickles to some of the
embellishments.

Hey, Everyone! No card to show, but I wanted to give a shout-out to my friend's etsy store. I have never "officially" met Brittany, but we have become internet pals through mutual friends. I'm pretty sure if we lived close together, we could become quite the dangerous pair. We seem to love all the same things. She, however, is way more craftier and talented than me...especially when it comes to sewing. I pretty much bombed that quality, much to my mother's dismay. (She can sew anything).

You have got to check out her adorable totes. Ruffles, flowers, cute material...how can you go wrong?

Mother's Day idea??

She even adds pockets to the insides:

Would make a great tote for library books or scrapbook supplies! Work? Lots of ideas!!
